A APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING GAS USING HEAT AS ENERGY SOURCE

摘要

A gas compressor, comprising a compressor chamber comprising a chamber inlet for gas and a chamber outlet for gas A gas heating device comprising a heater chamber having a heater inlet for gas and a heater outlet for gas. The gas heating device being arranged to heat gas present in the heater chamber, thereby raising its pressure to a heated pressure and ejecting a first portion of the heated gas through the heater outlet into the compressor chamber retaining a second portion of the heated gas in the heater chamber, thereby compressing gas present in the compressor chamber by applying pressure on said gas with said first portion of the heated gas, while lowering the gas pressure in the heater chamber below the heated pressure,
